RUMOUR:
Dyche is out if we lose the next game. Cooper could replace him. I'm not making his rumour up. The mind boggles.
1.) 10 Feb 2026 19:00:27
That actually hilarious, the managerial crazy train rolls into town. ??.
2.) 11 Feb 2026 21:49:19
Every cloud has a Silva lining.
3.) 11 Feb 2026 21:56:37
Dyche said the squad has unity. They are united, they all know he's toast!
31 Jan 2026 05:42:54
Frattesi incoming.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 12:19:51
Great signing if we pull it off.
2.) 01 Feb 2026 22:49:27
So was luiz?
Its how they fit that matters?
3.) 02 Feb 2026 21:05:24
Liverpool screwed up the deal. A bit annoying.
19 Jan 2026 02:23:59
RUMOUR:
Forest have agreed a deal in principle to sign Lorenzo Lucca from Napoli. Apparently it is a loan with option to buy deal.
He has doubts and other Italian clubs are interested.
1.) 19 Jan 2026 07:11:04
If he asks Silenzi, any douths will be settled ?.
2.) 19 Jan 2026 10:24:51
There’s been a ‘breakthrough in last few hours’. According to Radio Marte, the player is open to moving to the City Ground in January.
Therefore, Dyche’s side have accelerated their efforts to finalise the deal for the attacker on loan with an option to buy set at €35m. If there are no last-minute setbacks, Lucca will play in the Premier League.
3.) 19 Jan 2026 10:25:29
Rai Sport journalist and Napoli expert Ciro Venerato also reports the player would be on his way to the English club, related by Area Napoli.
He says the Italian is ‘ready to say yes’ to Nottingham Forest, after rejecting Benfica, Pisa and a move to Saudi Arabia.
4.) 19 Jan 2026 13:26:49
It looks like my prediction (below) on the 5th January was bang on. Mystic Cyclist ?
Educated guess if I'm honest. He was struggling for game time and Napoli wanted to offload him. Dyche likes a big boy and Lucca is a giant.
5.) 19 Jan 2026 18:15:19
A goal every fourth game in senior football, thanks but no thanks.
CARLO.
6.) 19 Jan 2026 21:18:12
News now anyone can read cyclist, they get more wrong than right though.
7.) 20 Jan 2026 00:55:15
Yes it's news now. I didn't predict it now. Are you sure you can read? ?.
8.) 20 Jan 2026 08:30:38
DTP mate, this is the "rumours" section, Cyclist is using its function correctly, are you? ?.
9.) 20 Jan 2026 11:18:40
Not sure if it's a tactic to get a better deal by Lucca, but it seems he will only leave Italy kicking and screaming, we need someone up to speed straight away, not someone mopping around the training centre missing home.
10.) 20 Jan 2026 13:10:55
Reading an article on my lunch break from the Corriere dello Sport, Luca doesn't speak a word of English and it could be an issue regarding his final decision. ?.
11.) 20 Jan 2026 16:08:14
Boly came back from Afcon injured so can't see the transfer to west ham what was being considered, Boly could be useful as interpreter for Lucca, if he comes?.
12.) 20 Jan 2026 22:28:24
Lucca looks like the big barstool we need for Dyche's long ball 80s footy, but if he has his doubts then is it worth it?
The recruitment team have tried. Give him a date to make his mind up by and get negotiating with other players/ agents.
13.) 21 Jan 2026 11:52:57
Cyclist “Dyches long ball 80’s football”? Not again, thought I’d put that to bed, where I’m off to now ????????.
14.) 21 Jan 2026 13:42:07
Dinobot. Get out of relegation, hoof it up and hope. Get a giant up front and whack it to him. Any Sunday league boss could do that. You just need a fitness coach and a dead ball coach and let my Mum do the tactics. ??.
15.) 21 Jan 2026 18:07:28
Do you actually watch any Reds games Cyclist?
Or you just believe the propaganda? Genuine question mate …….
16.) 22 Jan 2026 16:39:54
@Stokey ? Landed a catch. ?
It looks like the Lucca deal is over the line (s'cuse the pun).
Ornstein and other sources are saying it will probably be conformed tomorrow. Loan fee of £1M.
Stokey will be pleased. We have a big lump up front for his favourite tactical genius mans approach. We can wack the ball in the genral direction of the box and hope we score. It worked for Wimbledon so. ?.

RUMOUR: Glasner to leave palace this summer and on the shortlist to replace Dyche at Forest.
1.) 17 Jan 2026 05:36:41
This was all set up until Mendes interfered, and his client Nuno was employed, turned out alright, but wonder what could have been with Glasner?.
2.) 17 Jan 2026 11:50:40
Cyclist, in a recent post to Ed 1 I did predict that Palace would be dragged into the relegation scrap if they lost more key players ( like Eze) and I mentioned Wharton and Guehi by name. The fact that Glasner, an excellent manager, has now stated he is off in the summer is an additional bonus for us.
However, I think he would rather nail his own gonads to a wooden fence than work for an “erratic” owner like ours. Besides which, there will be no vacancy to fill……. ?? ?.
3.) 17 Jan 2026 13:38:19
I’ll be amazed if Dyche is still manager in August, I don’t think he fits marinakis ambitions for the club, whether you believe them realistic or not, I think he is a stop gap, nothing more, glasner Will almost certainly have bigger opportunities than here though.
13 Jan 2026 10:45:44
RUMOUR:
Nottingham Forest identify Mehdi Taremi as number one target
According to The Athletic, the Reds are eyeing one of four new striker targets with a varying degree of quality, and now the number one target has emerged.
It’s believed that Taremi is the number one striker target for this month, with the 33-year-old currently playing for Evangelos Marinakis’ other club, Olympiacos.
1.) 13 Jan 2026 12:27:46
This one looks a realistic acquisition, as a footballer he looks like he could do the business, just hope he doesn't use Nottingham Forest to spout his politics seeing as he's a close friend of the Iranian President!
2.) 13 Jan 2026 15:32:41
You would have thought we'd show a little more ambition than someone that's probably 2 years from retirement as our main target, oh hang yeah we signed a young French center forward for big bucks. Crazy transfer policy imo. ?.
3.) 13 Jan 2026 16:29:59
Kalimuendo scored a very good goal against Utrecht then promptly gets dropped for the next game!, unless Kalimuendo wanted away can not understand it, so now Taremi is the emergency forwards we are forced to look at and hope they can salvage the season.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 16:37:51
Mossy
I’ll be really miffed if Trump bombs the WFCG just to get at our centre forward mate! ??.
5.) 13 Jan 2026 17:36:33
Red Robin, mate, Chris “Plankov” Wood scored 20 plus goals for us last season aged 33? If this lad is half as good it’s a plus, ambitious or not surely?
6.) 13 Jan 2026 18:33:46
Stokey if he comes, Taremi has plenty of opinions he's never apologized for expressing, and Trump needs all the oil tankers Mr Marinakis has for Venules oil, so the City Grounds safe ?.
7.) 13 Jan 2026 19:03:15
Mossy, many thanks for your reassurance mate! ???He sounds a rarity, a footballer with opinions and a bit of character?
8.) 13 Jan 2026 19:03:52
Stokey do you know anything about Taremi? Honestly he's not exactly a world beater, modest goal scoring record and only moved to decent clubs recently in his career (porto and inter). Wood had bagged goals in the Premier league prior to last seasons efforts so already knew the league, the culture, the style and is a naturalised English speaker.
Just find it all extremely underwhelming, the Wolves lad is available, just go and get him if that's the style of forward Dyche wants. At least looking at the size of the forwards we're being linked with Dyche should be slightly happier, all massive and they fit his cretaceous style. ??.
9.) 13 Jan 2026 19:47:39
Take no notice of these rumours
None of it ever happens
Same sources same outcome
NOTHING.
10.) 13 Jan 2026 20:55:05
DTP if we all took no notice would there be any point in the rumours section? Rumours involving transfers is entertaining and we all love it. (apart from you of course telling us what to do once again, DTPs neighbourhood watch). ?.
11.) 13 Jan 2026 21:02:56
Red Robin, no mate I don’t know anything about Taremi. I know much more about Strand Larson having seen him play a few times. I think he might do a job for us but I’m only guessing here. Who knows what Edu and the recruitment team have lined up as Woody replacement. But SD will have told them what he wants.
12.) 13 Jan 2026 21:27:23
Yeah but i doubt we could get a kit big enough to fit a diplodocus. ??.
13.) 13 Jan 2026 21:40:29
Just saying winter
They get nothing right
Carlisle now a Argentina striker that won't happen.
14.) 13 Jan 2026 22:24:09
We can get better than Larsen in the summer for less money than Larsen. Like with the manager, they are looking for a stop gap I hope. Why buy Dyche players, he's toast this summer?
15.) 13 Jan 2026 22:44:25
We won't buy dyche players.
16.) 14 Jan 2026 08:59:51
???.
17.) 14 Jan 2026 09:13:08
The Argentinian striker is Santiago Castro, get him and Taremi, might make Stokeys prediction for the City Ground more worrying ?.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, Jesus is going to do a Taiwo and keep us up.
1.) 22 Mar 2026 16:55:03
Vitor is going to keep us up and win the Europa League. I'm convinced and impressed by his man management, and the fans will be singing his name.
2.) 22 Mar 2026 18:03:33
Don't spoil it, dtp, with your kiss of death patented predictions. ?
3.) 22 Mar 2026 18:10:25
Instead of posting that balloons, why not congratulate the coach, the team.
Ladbrokes didn't like my predictions yesterday.
I'll have a few pints for you ££££. ????
20 Mar 2026 21:26:35
At least argue about footy or be funny. Read about 20 posts and nothing about footy and not laughed once.
If it isn't footy or banter, take it to Facebook or something? I'm all for free speech but I'm feeling like this site isn't what it says on the can tonight.
Good result last night. Told you Bakwa has it in him.
1.) 20 Mar 2026 22:20:52.
It was cyclist, and if you read, I've said so.
No bomb squad?
Better ideas? Given every player a clean sheet?
Played different formations?
Put a smile on players' faces?
But, Im not allowed to say anything against a few posters?
And, they don't mind calling the players?
Calling the coach?
Calling the owner any name they can?
Bit of I call them?
They are like snow flakes, complaining?
Ill leave it at that for you guys to work it out?
2.) 20 Mar 2026 22:22:34
Bakwa is an extremely talented cyclist. His record last season was brilliant. It's just a shame we let Kalimuendo go because he is equally as good. ?
3.) 20 Mar 2026 22:46:26
Like I say, no.bomb squad or calling players from Pierra.
Just getting on with the football.
4.) 20 Mar 2026 22:56:29
The irony with Kalimuendo is that his loan fee funded the one for Lucca. Whoever made that call probably deserves the sack. Have they announced Edu's departure yet? ?
I remember saying Ndoye looks more like a wing-back than a winger. I haven't changed my mind about that.
Our CBs nearly all look more comfortable in a back three.
5.) 20 Mar 2026 22:58:13
The bomb squad seems to just be Netz and Angus Gunn.
6.) 20 Mar 2026 23:02:49
Ndoye looked a class winger when he came on against Fulham.
Like I say, these players all have a clean sheet under Pierra and no moaning.
7.) 20 Mar 2026 23:18:56
I just hope that Kalimuendo's buyout is huge on Frankfurt's part. We need to get at least our money back. ?
8.) 20 Mar 2026 23:21:55
And any obligation to buy Lucca needs wavering ASAP. ?
9.) 21 Mar 2026 09:42:40
Thats not entriely true RC, Ripley's post was hilarious.
But agree to what your saying, easiest way to ignore moronic posters is to follow the Ed's guidelines on how to hide their posts, sad you have to do that but there you go.
10.) 21 Mar 2026 18:41:19
My post? ???
11.) 21 Mar 2026 19:22:05
There's no obligation to buy Lucca, which is a relief. Who knows what the buy clause is with Kalimuendo, but might have got someone the sack if it isn't big enough.
13 Mar 2026 11:22:06
Do we have any youth/B team players who can put the ball in the net?
1.) 13 Mar 2026 12:08:15
At this point mate, we should be looking at every option, the ladies side and netball team included. ?
2.) 13 Mar 2026 13:00:55
Jota Silva was a good finisher and we shipped him out. I think he's on loan at Besiktas. Kalimuendo has 2 goals in the Europa League and he's on loan too.
Surely, all this can't just be Edu?
3.) 13 Mar 2026 13:13:16
I always liked Jota Silva, Cyclist. Always gave 100% and made things happen, often niggly too and in the opposition's face.
4.) 13 Mar 2026 13:43:20
We always like a past player when they've gone. They were both crap when they got game time for us, rightly shipped out, and should never have been wearing a Forest shirt in the first place. And, Cyclist, mainly Edu with some of Mr M involvement.
5.) 13 Mar 2026 17:36:18
I was saying Jota was a good finisher and needed a run of starts when he was still here. I also thought Kalimuendo had potential and we should give him time and minutes before he was farmed out.
Both are more likely to score than Lucca or Ndoye, so...
04 Mar 2026 23:21:42
All that time Jair Cuhna ignored by managers. So irritating.
Great result. Bound to be if I missed the game.
26 Feb 2026 22:02:11
You just knew he was going to play too many second string players to make it an easy watch. That could easily have gone wrong.
1.) 27 Feb 2026 00:20:05
Players heads turn now, no interest in this club or where the club is heading. Edu has messed this club and Mr M. has not seen it coming! Alan Sugar would have fired him weeks ago!
16 Feb 2026 21:09:41
If it's true, then they aren't backstabbers. It was 5 employees being asked by the owner a question and answering it. Dyche was useless.
13 Feb 2026 14:47:30
If you want prophetic, the AI who does my profile pics seems to be good at predicting the future.
Shall I ask it to do one of Ryan Yates lifting the Europa League trophy?
13 Feb 2026 14:46:06
Sources inside the club were apparently saying this last week. This is according to folks like Wolfie on FFTV and the Athletic who do have contacts in there.
13 Feb 2026 14:44:16
He won't need to find it now as he doesn't work there. ?.
11 Feb 2026 21:56:37
Dyche said the squad has unity. They are united, they all know he's toast!
25 Mar 2026 17:12:47
Please, don't appoint Hughton, my broken ribs hurt when I laugh.
25 Mar 2026 17:11:43
Not Anderson.
22 Mar 2026 20:01:53
Jesus will be better next season. It takes a long time for most players to adapt. Thierry Henry took a year to really get going. F***! People are so impatient.
22 Mar 2026 16:33:12
This post aged well. ?
21 Mar 2026 19:22:05
There's no obligation to buy Lucca, which is a relief. Who knows what the buy clause is with Kalimuendo, but might have got someone the sack if it isn't big enough.
